File Description

DungeonDoom is a Doom 3 modification, which sets up a pseudo-random maze including enemies, medkits and armorshards. The maze also has 'virtual stairs' which lead to lower or higher levels. The deeper you descent into the dungeon, the tougher the enemies get. Killed enemies drop gold, which can be used in shops to buy new weapons, ammo, armor and medkits. Shops are the only source for weapons and ammo and are available every 10 levels, including the start level.

DungeonDoom alpha 0.1 1/29/05

*************************************************************
To run:
- Copy DungeonDoom directory to your Doom 3 directory
- Run Doom 3
- Click 'mods' in the main menu
- Select DungeonDoom
- Activate the console (press CTRL/ALT/~)
- Type 'map DungeonDoom'
*************************************************************
Information for playing the modification:
The current version is fully playable and it appears to be
stable at least on my system. A new enemy type appears every
5 levels. At level 65 the last enemy type is added, but the
game will get a bit more challenging if you descent further.
Level 100 is currently the maximum level, but so far I tested
the current version only till level 40.
IMPORTANT:
While testing an earlier version I had problems when I saved
the game shortly after I switched levels, therefore it is not
recommended to save the game at such times. It should be fine
to save the game when you see or hear enemies, or after
passing enough time needed to spawn all enemies.
*************************************************************
Semi-technical notes:
The mod can be made more challenging by altering the
following console variables:
DD_medkits
-sets the maximum number of medkits and armorshards spawned
at each level. Default is 8, setting this to 4 makes the
game much more challenging. Do not set above 29.
DD_armor
-sets how many of the medkits are converted into armorshards.
Default is 7. Use a number between 0 and 10, with 0: only
armor and 10: only medkits.
DD_monsters
DD_monstersr
-sets the number of enemies. RD_monsters is the number of
enemies which is always spawned, whereas RD_monstersr is the
maximum number of additional enemies spawned randomly.
Default is 5 for RD_monsters and 10 for RD_monstersr. The
sum of RD_monsters and RD_monstersr should not exceed 29.
DD_gold
-sets a multiplier on the reward for killing enemies. Delault
is 1. Setting a lower number makes the game more
challenging.
*************************************************************
Technical information:
This modification uses a modified version of Martin 'mwoody'
Woodards (mzm AT mwoody DOT com) random maze generator. The
recursive code has been eliminated to prevent random crashes.
Every time the player changes the dungeon level, the maze is
rebuild using a pseudo random number generator seeded with
the dungeon level as seed. Therefore, each level looks
different, but previously visited levels have the same
structure when you revisit them. Enemy spawning is set as
random as the Doom random number generator gets.
I am working on adding additional features - with the main
goal of maing the gameplay more RPG-like. Additions from
others are very welcome.
Some parts/problems that I could use some help with:
-finding bugs.
-testing and balancing.
-I would like to pause user interaction while the level is
built to prevent errors and to prevent the player from
seeing that thelevel is rebuilt.
-3D art to symbolize ascending and descending stairs.
-a 'sword' weapon.
-a 'magic' system.
-a nicer dungeon.
-information on the aas system. It does not appear to be
needed for the monsters to move around in a way that makes
sense.
-anything else that would be 'cool'.
-feel free to use this code for your own project, as long as
you give full credits to me and the original contributors.
